Anonymous participant Honestly, I have no idea. I have entered Thailand on DTV multiple times, like many others and up until now, never had an issue. This issue had nothing to do win the visa and everything to do with them not liking farang having spent time in Cambodia, like somehow we are supporting their enemy. I was basically told not to go back to Cambodia and that I wouldn’t have a problem entering if I was coming from somewhere else next time (have work trips to Philippines and Indonesia in Feb).
Anonymous participant 270 - IO got agitated as soon as he saw my ticket showed I came from Phnom Penh, before he opened up my passport. Not sure he could see a true travel pattern in that short of time, as I have stamps for Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore, Indonesia, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kryg Republic, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives and Italy all in the last 2.5 years. Only thing you could really see is business visa stickers for Cambodia
I flew in on Friday from Phnom Penh with my DTV and had a difficult time, They were focused on the fact that I was coming from Cambodia and that I had spent a lot of time there. I was about to be sent to interrogation when they realized the next person in line was my partner (Thai) and then was allowed to step up and speak. IO told my partner there would have been a good chance I would have been denied entry as he saw the number of days and trips to Cambodia as a red flag
- Yes, he has known about this for years. You can look back at posts in 2024. He didn’t do because border runs were easier. The question wasn’t about access to children, especially when your child isn’t officially declared yours, but accessing a country. On the flip side, can his daughter enter his country right now, just because his name is on the birth certificate?
